Birds 03:21
lyrics

The bond is broken And the light that was leading me Is gone and I have no choice but to seal the memories That were keeping this boat afloat Everything must go Still the birds will find me waiting for the dawn Should we mourn or should we celebrate? Stolid souls we ain't gonna break The image in your head is not the thing itself The birds will find me telling myself That you can't put it on a shelf Everything must go Still waiting for the dawn Everything must go Abandon hope It'lll be easier to live Never mind the echoes Nothing gotta give Despite the truth I know Everything must go Still the birds will find me waiting for the dawn Everything must go Still waiting for the dawn Everything must go Everything must go Still waiting for the dawn Everything must go Take me away Take me away Take me away from everything I've done wrong From everything Take me away Take me away Take me away from everything I've done wrong Just take me away! Away! Everything must go Still waiting for the dawn Everything must go

Crossroads 03:56

Many years you were there for me When I screwed things up I knew that the world couldn't bring me down Cause I wasn't alone cause I had you Now its time to say goodbye, oh, say goodbye Can you recall those times when I was stuck in dismay Feeling sorry for myself You saved me and I swore that I would do the same for you You know it's true And I know for sure we'll meet again We always knew that this moment would come We are at the crossroads saying goodbye But I know for sure we'll meet again You helped me see Whom I should be I'd be blind without you You helped me breathe You helped me believe that I should carry on You helped me see What I needed I'm blind without you You helped me breathe And I believe we'll meet again

I'm Not Over 03:27
lyrics

This is the beginning of the end Decay when I count to ten Nothing more but a bad kind of dream When the walls are closing in This is the beginning of the end I mourn for the beautiful intent It could've turned out right It should've turned out right I'm not over I'm not over Gonna make a short detour This is the beginning of the end Yet what I can't comprehend Is why this joke is on me Why is it always on me This is the beginning of the end Will the truth remain unsaid? Sleep tight on the bed that you made No one cares to see you fade I will not bend I will not break Untill I'm satisfied I will not bend I will not break Erase it from my mind I will not bend I will not break I will not bend I will not break And even with this part of me gone

Rise 03:30

Lift the curtain Prove them wrong I still believe Your star's not gone It's blinding light will find its way to you Don't be afraid you're not alone The mirror cracks Your doubts are gone The masks they used to wear all vanished too Rise up and shine And never really try to believe In what they say A midnight walk is what you need A moonlit scene A road that leads to the open doors Back to everything you seek for Rise up and shine And never really try to believe In what they say

Swim With Me 04:14
lyrics

The water's cold A storm is approaching Not much of a metaphor this is Is this the firm ground that I begged for? Seems to be another reef Then the wave comes and I know I'll never go back Can you tie me to the mast so I don't fall from the deck And if I do, could you Swim with me, swim with me I'll never forget Swim with me, swim with me I'll never forget again My clothes are wet I see things clearer So much clearer than I did When we were walking hand in hand in the harbor Watching ships come and go Then the wave comes and I know I'll never go back Can you tie me to the mast so I don't fall from the deck And if I do, could you Swim with me, swim with me I'll never forget Swim with me, swim with me I'll never forget again This distorted surface you see Is the mirror of my soul And this gale is our fear That the wind will take control But our vessel's way too sound For the storm to swallow I know someday we'll stand on the ground Feet in the water so shallow

On And On 03:24
lyrics

A subtly painted rooms No more clocks they won't distrub your sleep Simple questions are asked How old are you? But the answer's never true How did it come to this You're the only one who truly knows Somewhere deep inside there's a child too frightened to let go On and on the wheel keeps turning On and on inside we're burning On and on we trap ourselves In subtly painted rooms No more locks No, fear's not coming in No more pain, no more worries You must've felt so helpless, empty, broken, hoping he wouldn't leave You must've felt so let down, you must've felt so lonely so lost treading waters way too deep Alone On and on the wheel keeps turning On and on inside we're burning On and on we trap ourselves in our private hells

Black & White 04:55

The ceiling said hello 4-30 in the morning It takes a while to cope with the fear of falling In the end it all comes down to saying things you will regret The fight that we've survived It left scarred inside It left us hiding from the light The one that saved me Or was it then that I lost hope I know you're better than the one I knew before if you're lonely And fear keeps you up all night Please remember Life's not always black&white Things that scare you May be better than they seem Just remember You should think twice before you scream oh oh oh oh, you still got so much to learn oh oh oh oh, yeah The drama beckoned me The sweet temptation so little did I know of vivid celebration of life and hate and sex and everything that makes it worth your while The hurt you left behind will never really die it'll keep hiding from the light the one that saved me or was it then that I lost hope I know you're better than the one I knew before It's sink or swim A certain situation of life and death importance and we can't give up Cause then we'll never be able to be Where we wanna be at the seams it feels like pressure's too much to stand I know you've come too far to just bend It's time you learned the truth (that) you will never know everything you want to

Pandora's Box 04:33
lyrics

Deep down inside of you and me There's a beast no one gets to see The darkest corner of your mind My guilty mind Rest assured you'll get inside Only to wake in the middle of the night Screaming shaken by the truth Letting emotions loose I am, I am, I am, I am, I am the only one who knows What's behind the closed doors Give me a chance and you will see There's a better part of me The one that's fighting mister Hide every night All I need is one more chance One more kiss and one more dance So seize your fire, let it go Just let it go Pandora's box Once opened cannot be closed again Pandora's box Oh how I wish you'd understand Pandora's box Is more than just a myth Pandora's box Is deep down inside of you and me Deep down inside of me The beast that no one sees

Pretence 04:41
lyrics

We are who we pretend to be A wiseman once said So choose caredully who you wanna be One step and you are done Is it all about simply having fun, no! That's how we come undone Why do you pretend to be Somebody I don't know Why don't you pretend to be Somebody that I love I don't wanna see Some stranger take your place You are who we pretend to be Your mask becomes your face And unmistakably you're who you wanna be, who you wanna be This is always the hardest part A bad choice gets you off the ark A unicorn lost in the flood Choose who you are Choose who you wanna be

Should Have Known 04:57
lyrics

I knew it couldn't last You're slipping away Another ghost of the past With nothing to say It's time to gather the stones The fruits of the lie She's getting ready to go And I'm ready to dive How did it come to this Were we misled? Our cover's blown to bits Tears unshed Days are growing cold So much for the lie She's getting ready to go And I'm ready to die On the cliff where wind don't blow Face to face with the unknown I'm getting ready for the dive (Death lags behind) Love's on a killing spree A terror hanging over me You came to steal my final straw I should have known How did it come to this Die Hey, what's it gonna be? Say, what's in it for me? I've never been good at living someone else's dreams When the very fabric of existence is tearing up at the seams This time is no different Should've seen this coming The dumbest thing that I've ever done and The dumbest thing that I've ever done and The dumbest thing that I've ever done and The dumbest thing that I've ever done and I'm done and I'm leaving I'm done

Waste 03:23

Tell me please Is it want you want? Sticking to the plan that the mob's come up with Washing your dreams down the drain You care Still you don't care enough to stand up for Your own future I know I used to be like you but now I'm Writing my own story, oh Behold I'm no prophet but I want you to See what it means to be free This life is a highway to me, yeah Can you swear That you're satisfied With the way you live your only live 'Cause it seems to be a waste There's just no chance That you got no doubt It's never too late to change it all I know I used to be like you but now I'm Writing my own story, oh Behold I'm no prophet but I want you to See what it means to be free This life is a highway to me, yeah You're wasting your time You're wasting your lives This life is a highway to me, yeah
